Re: System/36 environment Display IDs -- MIDRANGE-L

It will not help with getting both IBM i and S/36 names. But it will
remove the old *DEVD not being used. This will fix the full table/list.
When it is full you can not add/create any more. Getting rid of old ones
allows you to make new ones.

Is one to assume that any object with type *DEVD and attribute of DSPVRT is
a S/36 name?

Had the same issue so some time back I wrote a CLLE. in a nutshell it

will

create an out file of all of the devices and anything not used in the

90 days delete them. We run this monthly.

Just to save time here is the code, I don't think anything is

proprietary.

In the System/36 environment there is an IBM i to S/36 device ID

table.

Command is CHGS36 then take S/36 display IDs. Then a list is shown of

the

equivalencies. Does anyone know how to get that list sorted by I5/OS
Display ID instead of S/36 ID?

Or, does anybody know where that is stored so I could possibly use

SQL

to

sort the list?

We have hundreds of entries and the table filled up yesterday, and it

is

alot easier to maintain it when sorted by i5/OS ID.

Thank you,

Doug
